The injury

One afternoon, this young girl playing in an old junk car, cut herself on a piece of metal that was hanging from the top of the car. The sudden pain made her heart skipped a beat. In a couple of second she felt the blood coming down her face. And then the panic!
All she thought about was to stop the blood. She put her two hands one on top of the other blocking the wound but it didn’t work and the blood kept flowing between her fingers. Soon her face, hands, her clothes was turning red from the injury on top of her head. She new she was cut badly and she had to go home but she didn’t wanted to go there. She felt she was a very bad girl. That she has done something so wrong! That she has hurt herself and she knew better then to do this. The person waiting for her at home would be so mad because she would scare her with all this blood. She would make her angry for not having been careful enough. She might even make her die. The guiltiness inside this young girl was confusing her thinking and as the time passed she was losing more and more blood. But she didn’t moved. She just stood beside the old junk car.

A neighbor going by saw the young girl. He went to her, told her something that she didn’t understood, and then took her by the hand and brought her home. When she came close to her house she saw her coming outside. This person who was suppose to help the child was really angry, both her hands on her chest, yelling:

“How dare you scare me like this! You know I’m afraid of blood! What an awful child you are! You are going to make me take a heart attack! Can you see how I’m shaking! You are a very bad girl! I don’t know why I keep you! One day you are going to kill me! “

Then the neighbor told the woman that the child needed stitches.

“ See how bad you are! Now you are going to cost me money to bring you to hospital! What an awful child!”

On her way to the hospital, all the young girl could think about is how bad she is. What an awful child she is! By playing in that old junk car she has almost kill her mother.

If it had been for the neighbor the young girl would have died. She would have preferred to die then scaring her mother.
